Detailed Solution

The reaction is Cr2O72+6Fe2++14H+2Cr3++6Fe3++7H2O. From this reaction, it follows that 

1 mol of Cr2O726mol of Fe2+  i.e. 1 mol of K2Cr2O76 mol of Mohr's salt 

Amount of Mohr's salt in the given solution is  n=VM=(0.750L)(0.6molL1)=0.45mol

Amount of K2Cr2O7 required for the oxidation of Fe2+ ions will be n1=n/6=(0.45mol)/6

Mass of required K2Cr2O7 would be m=n1Mm=0.456mol294gmol1=22.05g
